Very timely post, Steve. I shoot RAW when the camera supports it and it’s interesting to see the huge amount of difference the different white balance options in Lightroom can make to a photograph. I agree wtih Jan — SHOOT RAW!

Could not agree more Steve. When I first started with digital photography I didn`t get RAW. I could not see it in my explorer viewer either so it was a bit of a mystery. I would suggest that for anybody timid about shooting RAW go and take a few test shots and put them into Photoshop elements or other similar editing program. Wow – you`ll see amazing adjustability and total control. You`ll never shoot in jpeg again. If you want to shoot in raw but also want to see the shots in explorer you can find a program called an explorer RAW codec – a small program which improves the viewing capabilities of explorer and you`ll see it all.
SHOOT RAW!
